> Cranston was prompted to justify Skyler’s behavior after Muiz declared he “loved ‘Breaking Bad’” but “hated Skyler.” He said that “all she did was complain” and thought Walter’s life would’ve been “so much easier” without her.
> “Now, see, she got a lot of blowback from that,” Cranston replied. “Well, first of all, Anna Gunn is a superb actor, but she got, ‘Oh, why don’t you get off his back?’ Wait a minute. Let me understand this. Her husband leaves without any explanation, she’s pregnant, he’s making crystal methamphetamine and people have died. And she’s the bitch? Like, we couldn’t understand.”
> Muiz then replied, “When you put it that way, I guess.”
People who hated Skyler weren’t paying attention to the fact that Walter becomes the villain protagonist in the story.
Jesse was the real protagonist.
You can justify and excuse WHY she was a bitch all you want, she is still a bitch and an annoying character
The beauty with BB was that every harasser was nuanced. They were al complex. The fact that Walt gets so much sympathy is completely due to this aspect, he was a terrible human being but we al want him to do well. If Cranston had not played Walt so well then Skylar may have been given more fan sympathy.
Walter’s descent into a horrible person happened slowly. Skylar reacted in weird ways from very beginning.
only 10+ years late on that one, Bryan
I feel like the bigger issue with Skyler as a character is that she’s just not that interesting. Neither is Walt Jr.
People sided with Walt because of his character. It’s all for fun/entertainment
I didn’t like Skylar because the size of her head is huge and distracting. We are not the same.
Tomorrow will be my turn to post this story.
